## What is BrainPass?

Before you scroll, think. Your brain is the password.

BrainPass helps you stop opening distracting apps on autopilot. Choose the apps that pull you in, and BrainPass blocks them until you complete a quick brain challenge.

Here is how it works:
1. Choose the apps you want to interrupt.
2. Try to open one of them.
3. BrainPass gives you a fast brain challenge.
4. Answer correctly to unlock the app for a short session.
5. When the timer ends, the block comes back automatically.

BrainPass is designed to add a moment of intention, not shame. Instead of asking you to rely on willpower every time, it creates a small pause between impulse and action.

Challenge types include:
- color challenges
- memory sequences
- mental math
- riddles
- word meaning challenges

You can use BrainPass to:
- block social media and other distracting apps
- reduce mindless scrolling
- make app opens feel more intentional
- track streaks, challenge progress, screen time, pickups, and brain state trends
- choose how long apps stay unlocked before BrainPass blocks them again

Why people like BrainPass:
- fast setup
- quick challenges that fit real phone use
- temporary unlocks instead of all-or-nothing blocking
- built on Apple's Screen Time framework
- no VPN required

Important:
BrainPass is built for people who want to manage their own screen time and habits. It is not a parental control app.

Setup requires Screen Time permission and notifications so BrainPass can guide you from the block screen into the unlock challenge.

If you want your phone to ask for a little intention before the next scroll session, BrainPass is built for that.
